http://www.endhivaids.com: Uniting the World Against HIV/AIDS

With its goal to help in the effort to find a cure for the HIV/AIDS virus, Joe Stern-McGovern, global agent and President of Universal Artists, International, has announced the coming force in the world of music, Black Flock Gang’s, music downloads available exclusively at the future site created for charity, knowledge, and understanding, www.endhivaids.com.

In a quote from the Universal Artists, International leader, Joe Stern-McGovern states, “We’re attempting to show our support for the global organizations and leaders who are doing all they can to thwart the HIV/AIDS virus through financial contributions gathered through the sale of our products.”

Who are the most likely to receive these funds? Various clinical research organizations such as AMFAR, those which serve to better the lives of children suffering from the virus, such as the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, St. Judes, and Children’s Hospital, Gay & Lesbian health activists, legal heavyweights such as the ACLU and LAMBDA, and many others.

“We’re trying to put as much money towards the cause as we can,” states Joe Stern-McGovern, “and at the same time gather the means to continue in the various parts involved in making this movement a success, such as site fees, advertising, and other related expenses.”

How will the movement of Joe Stern-McGovern and Universal Artists, International fare, only time will tell, but with the power of the Southern force known as Shaka Productions of Birmingham, Alabama, and his vanguard of soldiers, Black Flock Gang, also known as BFG, chances for success lean towards the more positive end of the spectrum.

“The BFG is a statistics breaker,” states Joe Stern-McGovern, “it’s sheer genius and momentum will shatter all previously conceived measures of success in the charts and through word of mouth.”

Shaka & A-Dub: Uniting to End HIV/AIDS

A bold statement indeed, but having heard the material ourselves, we tend to agree with this icon known as Joe Stern-McGovern, a figure given towards brash statements and bravado in what some might consider a Ted Turner-esque sort of manner.

Black Flock Gang, consisting of Dem Hard Headz, DO and Pain, coupled with the FAM Boy$, Ms. Fame, Facts, Lo, CO, and the ambitious Mr. Hood Shuttlesworth, will burst out of the gate with their smash follow up to the, “Welcome 2 da Bams”, album in a second entrance into the market with the album simply titled, “Radio”. “Radio”, a compilation of BFG, Ms. Fame, and Jacksonville’s artful brothers, Ripp & Redd, is the first in a series of charitable material which has come to be known as, World Mixtape.

Ripp & Redd: Donating Talent for a Great Cause

What is a Mixtape many ask? In reality, it’s a CD compilation of various hip hop’s future stars joining to hop onto what are largely the beats of other artists of prominence. In the case of Universal Artists, International, all their material is original, however, the element they share with the mixtape phenomenon is the mustering of street credibility, outspoken and haughty declarations, and a supreme sense of one’s self coupled with the factors of authenticy and believability.

Sharing part on the follow up mixtape to Radio, BFG will be joined by the sultry sounds of Ms. Kesha Lee, as well as the lyrically headstrong, Christian Levi, both hailing from Birmingham, Alabama. Reports from the field are that both Ms. Kesha Lee and Christian Levi are poised for their breakouts as solo artists, something all fans of hip hop and R&B are avidly waiting for courtesy of Joe Stern-McGovern, Shaka Productions, and Universal Artists, International.

If all of this wasn’t enough, all material from the World Mixtapes have been finalized by Seattle’s very own, multi-platinum producer, DJ Funk Daddy. Known throughout the Emerald City and the greater Pacific Northwest, DJ Funk Daddy has worked with the very best, and continues his artesan’s tradition on the turntables and microphone with adept skill and dedication to the true nature of hip hop. For more information on DJ Funk Daddy, please visit his site at, www.funkdaddy.com.

The ultimate winner in all these endeavours of Joe Stern-McGovern, Shaka Productions and his artists, and DJ Funk Daddy, are the fans who all hope will download to donate in the most generous of fashion. They are what makes the industry what it is, as well as creating the impetus for where it is headed. After all, without its fans, how far could any genre go?
